It's often said that if the food is too salty, the cook is in love. This saying has persisted in our language to this day. Its historical roots lie far back in a very specific use of salt.
Even in antiquity, this raw material was used as an aphrodisiac, and the Greeks believed that too little salt impaired male potency. Lovers, therefore, aimed to increase their sexual desire by adding plenty of salt to their food.
I cut out the small blue arrows from blue cardboard; they are between 1 and 2.5 cm high. I also cut out a mask with an arrow out of cardboard and placed it in front of the macro lens. It ensured that the individual lamps in the chain of lights in the background do not appear as a point of light but also as a blue arrow in the picture.
I made this shot for a friend of my work. Her daughter has a little princess she brought to my work. We did quick shots in a free office. She was siiting on a desk...
I used a simple Yongnuo strobe on the hotshoe in manual mode.
Then I made post-processing because the background was really bad.
In photoshop I did the following steps :
- I cut the body from the original background.
- I made frequency separation to improve the face.
- I use also Topaz Grunge light effect to improve the effect on the dress.
- I did some dodge (no burn) on the face.
- I finally add a background made with Topaz Texture from a white layer.
- Among all small other modification, I notably add a small blur on the foreground.
- And I forgot to mention I add a shadow on the background to make a kind of 3D effect.
